217. EDGE Tool on public engagement

This is the Interactive tool to assess the institution’s support needs for public engagement, provided by the UK National Co-ordination Centre for Public Engagement. The EDGE Tool was created to help universities assess their current support for public engagement, and to identify areas where they would like to see change. The self-assessment tool identifies three macro areas of public engagement: the area of purpose (including the issues of mission, leadership, and communication); the area of the process (including the issues of support, learning, and recognition); and the area of people (including staff, students and public). The tool identifies also the following dimensions: Embryonic; Developing; Gripping; Embedding.

Part of interest: The entire tool.

Target groups: Policymakers, Providers, RPOs, Business Innovation, High Education Institutions
